@ Schubert:

Nothing astute about it.

Just the fact that now there is the wide open gap. Difference b/w the the next highest priced headphones is around $5K, 1/10th the price. So, in the coming years, headphone manufacturers will be filling the gap.

Forget the amp that's being paired and sold as a set, one can find creative ways to fit the bill ;)

One has to take the plunge to test the market, and Seinheisser as a company can do it. If all 250 disappear in the following months, then whola 😬
We live in a country where $100,000,000+ homes are not uncommon, where there are production cars priced at $1,400,000 and there are a half dozen watches that are more expensive than that car. Why should the price of these headphones raise eyebrows? Is it any more outrageous than a pair of $1,500 socks?
